The New York Times published an in-depth investigative report on Friday revealing that Meta’s aggressive push toward artificial intelligence is causing a severe decline in employee morale.

The report found that as Meta redirects substantial resources toward AI development, many employees in traditional business divisions feel marginalized. Some workers report increased pressure, reduced job security, and uncertainty about their career prospects.

Meta had previously announced large-scale layoffs, and this report further illuminates the cultural impact of the AI transformation. Insiders reveal that employees are divided over management’s “all-in on AI” strategic direction.
